An Autobiography of a Software Professional !!!

Imagine what would be the profit of every software companies if each person contributes his maximum productivity. If someone starts spying on a individual at a software companies, it’s amazing what an average software professional (!!!!!!) does. The office timing for an Indian software company is from 10 to 6. We will take the case of an (yet again) average software guy. Let’s call him Sam. Sam usually comes to office only at 10. He comes to his cubicle and starts checking his mail (Thank God, Microsoft Outlook is not down that day). Leaving all the official mails, he starts reading all the forwards (sent by his peer mates) and replies to all of his friends. Sam took half an hour to finish doing this task. At around ten thirty... The clock inside him alarms “Its time for Coffee..” .. He goes to his friends cubicle and spends some time there and like this he goes to every cubicle of his friend.. Collects everybody and finally goes to the pantry area and starts with his coffee (at last) and Hurray come to his cubicle at eleven. Curiously comes to see if there any forwards for him (and he never fails in this) . Another fifteen minutes gone for reading those.. He sees that the time is 11:15 and says to himself lets start the work at 11:30 and starts the days headlines...browses rediff.com, ndtv.com etc:- Come eleven thirty, he opens his outlook and sees his days task and in the process of understanding what his days task are takes him another half an hour and 12’0 clock sharp the TL calls for a meeting... Zoom another half an hour gone and the time is twelve thirty.. the alarms says.. “Sam time for lunch “. Hey the next minute Sam is in the canteen with all his friends eating… and after lunch he goes for a cup of juice outside the company and comes to his seat at around ( let us say ) one thirty.. Huh he is tired after lunch and does not have no mood to work. Again opens his outlook and reads all the forwards ( God Only knows how he gets so many forwarded messages ) and opens his personal mail id and reads the mail there and at last he decides lets start work at two. Then at that time he receives a call from his girl friend and he escapes from his cubicle to get in the mood of romance. After some fifteen minutes he comes and he then makes a call to his peer in another location and another fifteen minutes gone. The time is two thirty and all his days task are still pending (or should I say it is yet to be started). He is totally tired to work and then decided to browse and starts writing blog, reads article, goes to his friends cubicle and disturbs his work ( J !!! ) . Then at three and ( at last ) starts his days work and for the first time, logs into his work environment and starts analyzing what is to be done and come 3:30 its alarms “Sam … time for tea” zoom .. Time is 4’0 clock … His TL calls for a meeting again and asks the status of the days task… and Sam blabbers something and at last ( the final at last ) , he starts the days task and his head is deep inside the monitor, fingers faster than racing cars, some hi-fi codes are written, tested .. onsite calls , clarifications all happens and zooooooooooooooooom , the time is six thirty.. Hey the days task is over, codes committed, sent to onsite, sent for reviews and all around praises for our Hero ( yes he has become a hero ) Sam. And he is relieved and time for coffee and he goes out for a coffee ( he thinks as if he has won an war with the neighboring country ) and comes to his seat after fifteen minutes and reads all the mails which arrived from 4:30 and at 7:30 he shuts down his machine.. I have nothing more to say… An Autobiography of a Software Professional !!! - Thursday, December 08, 2005 -
